THE Greatest C.G.I. Spectacle in years... The last time I was this impressed by Visual Effects was in 2009, AVATAR!

Oh boy... Oh boy... Oh boy... Where do I begin? The problem with having very high expectations for a movie is that the higher your expectations are, the greater the chances are of you being disappointed. When I saw the this movie's trailer for the first time, a few months ago, I was in awe, and by the time I walked into the theater the last night my expectations had only increased, multi-fold...
So, did it live up to my expectations, was I impressed? Hell Yeah! As much as I will ever be... So much that, to me, this movie proves that Guillermo del Toro is the master of Epic (Visual Effects) Grandeur. The only other movie whose visual effects impressed me this much is 'Avatar'.
The story is basic (but good nonetheless), the movie is of moderate duration, and the screenplay is precise... So there isn't a dull moment in the film. There isn't a weak link on the acting front either, Idris Elba stands out though. The background score by Ramin Djawadi deserves a special mention. But finally, as you can see from the trailers, this movie is all about epic, grandiose scale visual effects, the kind you've never experienced before. And yes,this movies IS worth watching in 3D!
So, all in all, what's my final advice?? Don't miss it for the world, this might as well be the best movie to release this summer!
